Moroccan Stamps

Does anyone collect Moroccan stamps? I just started to collect them. I was wondering if there was any interest.

I heard rumor that Morocco may join the European union in 5-10 years and this could drive the value of their old stamps

I have only one Moroccan stamp.

1962 90 Franc black. King Hassan II.
Air mail stamp SG#102. Value - 15 pence in used as at 2003.

Hi Cynthia,
I could not find any in my collection. What have you got? Please post some pictures.

What a beautiful stamp Triggersmob. That stamp is of the old King. I have one stamp of the old King too. I also have 2 others of the new King. I will find them and post them.

Thanks for your interest.

1999 Old King of Morocco 10 Dirham (1 USD)
You did an awesome job posting your stamp, any suggestions Triggersmob?
Thanks

That's a nice pair of stamps.

Nothing wrong with your photo. Not as big as mine, but maybe you didn't zoom in as close. A little crooked too, but I'm fussy like that, I like to have them straight.

This stamp is of the new King Mohammed in 2002, 2.50 Dirhams (.25 USD)

My third Moroccan stamp of the new King Mohammed in 2003 6.5 dirhams (.65 UDS)

I find it interesting and very unusual that you are collecting Moroccan stamps. Do you have any ties to Morocco, or is it just a fascination for you?

I collect German material but I lived there for 6 years as a child.

My husband is from Morocco. I have family all over the world including Germany.

That's cool Cynthia. I've sailed past Morocco several times but never was able to get ashore.

If you've got family there now, maybe they can be a conduit to some good (and hopefully inexpensive) sources for Morrocan material!

Yes I do. I have started to collect the dirham and their stamps.

I travel there at least once a year. This year I hope to travel to either Spain or Germany (both will be my first time) before I head back to see the family.
Morocco is a very beautiful and magical place. Time goes by slow, people are friendly and there is always something to see (even if it is just sitting around the neighborhood). I highly recommend everyone visit there at least once in their life. Some visit and never go home, that will one day be me :)

Hi Cynthia

I do collect stamps from Morocco. Only have a few for now. I've actually been to Morocco in my younger years as part of a school trip. I remember that I loved the food and the culture. Didn't like the king cobras though.

I am so excited because I am about to purchase some North African stamps in an auction, many from Morocco. They say there are many duplicates so I can share. I will post them when I get them.
